Adam has already given one away in the October ‘raffles’. None is up in the November ‘raffles’. We have no reason to expect one in the December ‘raffles’.

Pentax getting closer to Leica? Just announced, the Leica SL2 has a fixed rear screen.

So, also having 47 MP and an electronic viewfinder? Oh, and a price > 3k USD

Price is about $6000 for SL2. How many K1s is that?

Thanks for the clarification.

So much for an attempt at humour.

That’s roughly 3 K1’s or 1 K1 plus a nice selection of lenses - the 15-30, 24-70, and the DA* 50.

It's an expensive red dot...

Funny how the SL2 now has IBIS and something like pixelshift - who's leading and who's following???

And there's probably nothing that that camera has that you can't get in any other camera. Except, of course, that $3500 red dot.

A sensor with a special microlens array, tweaked to deliver optimal image quality when shooting with adapted M-series lenses?

An IP54 certification?

Besides, the Leica SL2 being $6,000 and its close cousin the Panasonic Lumix DC-S1R $3,700, the red dot is no more than $2,300.

**mlt** · 11-06-2019, 09:37 PM

Imagine the price upgrade if they offered a black carbon fiber dot
